TRILLION's self titled debut album was released on Epic Records in 1978.
TRILLION's second album, titled Clear Approach was released on The Epic label
in 1979.
The tours
included 52 cities.
TRILLION opened for or shared the bill with Heart, Styx,
TOTO,
Ian Hunter, Jeff Beck, The Starship, Rick Derringer
and many other
great acts.
Since the 80's
break up the band members went in different directions
doing many different
projects and on different labels.
In
2007, the 3 original members of TRILLION, Bill, Thom and Frank
felt that the
band's legacy had been cut short far before exploring its full potential,
and that there was much more uniquely compelling music to come from this combination
of slightly eccentric and adventerous players!
Thom Griffin, Frank
Barbalace, and Bill Wilkins recruited CJ Vanston on keyboards to begin
writing,
arranging, producing and recording.
With the addition of Bryan Mitchell -
producer / engineer at Medical Records Studio, Chicago the chemistry and timing
is there once again.
Pat Leonard has also communicated an interest to join
in on the new TRILLION 3 project.
This is a long and overdue reuniting of
some great collaboration that made TRILLION what it was..
The new song selection is exciting and reminiscent of the original TRILLION sound and style but with an updated approach and execution.
The
new TRILLION project is moving forward with a timed re-release of the Clear Approach
record.
The licensed and re-mastered record by Jon Astley of the UK has been
re-released by the Rock Candy Record Company in the UK and here in the US by Trillion.
Here
in the US, there are a limited quantity of the re-mastered Clear Approach CDs
available for $25.00 US + shipping
These CDs contain a 10 page booklet including
interview snippets and band photos.
An added bonus track, 'You Clown' was
the B side of a promotional EPIC Record's 45 single which also makes this CD package
a one of a kind masterpiece.
